Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
*whipes eyes* anyways.. I think it would be an awesome idea to have a lyrics/literature page so we can post fav books/lyrics/poems etc....

I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel that something has been lost
But please you know you're just like me
Next time I promise we'll be
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind
So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder who I was...
Angel, you know it's not the end
We'll always be good friends
The letters have been sent on
So please, you always were so free
You'll see, I promise we'll be
Perfect
Perfect strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we meet
Perfect
You know this has to be
We always we're so free
We promised that we'd be
Perfect
Smashing Pumpkins - The End Is The Beginning Is The End
The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From ethers tragic I am born again
And now I'm with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Climb my ribcage to
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
I am shatter dome
I am kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange
My mom had me turned onto Smashing Pumkins and REM at an early age. With that comes Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Oasis, Nirvana, etc. She's a big fan of 90's alternative rock, as I am.

I think I'll draw a picture
A picture with a twist
I'll draw it with a razor blade
I'll draw it on my wrist
And as I draw this picture
A fountain will appear
And with this flowing fountain
All problems disappear

King Missile - I'm Sorry
---From the album happy hour---
No I never was in vietnam
I never once dove into an empty swimming pool
I never let the carpet walk right out from under me
I never painted a house or a tree
I never did become an exotic dancer or a customer service representative
I never took the pulse of a dying duck
Or gave mouth to mouth resusitation to a horsefly
In a way I spose you could say my experience is quite limited
For example,
I never locked Oliver Cromwell in a broom closet while singing Waltzing
Matilda
I never sawed a television in half
Although I once saw Wendy O'Williams saw a guitar
I never played a decent game of jacks
I never played poker with a toothless one eyed pirate who kept picking his
teeth with a bowie knife to distract me while his parrot looked over my
shoulder and told him what cards I had by using an elaborate code involving
vomiting, chirping and sea shanties
I never bought a lamp
Wait I did buy a lamp once
But I never bought a lantern or a lambskin profolactic
I never bought lima beans or lime pudding
I never bought a lion or a Lionel Richie album
I never bought anything beginning with the letter "L"
Except lollipops, lightbulbs and lettuce ... and the lamp
I never layed down for a nap and found the Everly brotehrs in bed with me
I never let a cyborg take out the garbage
I'm sorry I stole the radio
I did it
I sawed the legs off the periodic table
I re-elected the President
I did it, it was my fault
I farted in the church
I'm sorry I did many many bad things
And I am so sorry

November Rain by Guns N' Roses
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time ...on your own
Do you need some time ...all alone
Everybody needs some time ...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time ...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time ...on my own
Sometimes I need some time ...all alone
Everybody needs some time ...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time ...all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
lyrics are always more meaningful when u listen to the song while reading... keep that in mind

Sensation washes over me
I can't describe it
Pain I felt so long ago
I don't remember
Tear a hole so I can see
My devastation
Feelings from so long ago
I don't remember
Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe
Blind your eyes to what you see
You can't embrace it
Leave it well enough alone
And don't remember
Cut your pride and watch it bleed
You can't deny it
Pain you know you can't ignor
I don't remember
Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe
Blind your eyes to what you see
You can't embrace it
Leave it well enough alone
And don't remember
Cut your pride and watch it bleed
You can't deny it
Pain you know you can't ignor
I don't remember
If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me
Post by: GE on November 7, 2003 01:23 am CST
Fell no pain, but my life ain't easy
I know I'm my best friend
No one cares, but I'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity
Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell my what to do
I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight
Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way
See they try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life is for my own to live my own way

hmm... I think that rather than interpreting that song as a metaphore for thinking clearly and in ones own way, many have thought it meant that it was their turn to be out of hand, do what they want, and screw the rest... at least the kids I knew seemed to think that. ArrrG!
//peace.

Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now it's time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one climbs on the waves tonight,
Comin' in, you're home
We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
Centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
Our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
Hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was remembering and I
Was just in a different county and all then this whirlybird that I
Headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back
Road and every truck stop

Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
[Chorus]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray
[chorus]
Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside
You've made me turn away
[chorus]

cast the calming apple
up and over satellites
to draw out the timid wild one
to convince you it's alright
and I listen for the whisper
of your sweet insanity while I formulate
denials of your effect on me
you're a stranger
so what do i care
you vanish today
not the first time I hear
all the lies
what am I to do with all this silence
shy away, shy away phantom
run away terrified child
won't you move away you forkin tornado
I'm better off without
tearing my will down
Good song

Tall and tan and young and lovely,
the girl from Ipanema goes walking and,
when she passes each one she passes goes-aahhhhh....
When she walks she's like a samba,
that swings so cool and sways so gentle that,
when she passes each one she passes goes-oohhhhh....
(ooh) but I watch her so sadly,
(how) can i tell her I love her,
(yes) I would give my heart gladly....
but each day when she walks to the sea,
she looks straight ahead, not at me...
Tall and tan and young and lovely,
the girl from Ipanema goes walking and,
when she passes I smile, but she doesn't see..doesn't see..
she just doesn't see..she never sees me...

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side ?
You've been running and hiding much too long .
You know it's just your foolish pride .
Layla , you've got me on my knees .
Layla , I'm begging , darling please .
Layla , darling won't you ease my worried mind .
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down .
Like a fool , I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down .
Chorus
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane .
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain .
Chorus
Chorus

You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life..
See that girl, watch that scene,
dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low,
looking out for the place to go..
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing,
you come in to look for a king..
Anybody could be that guy,
night is young and the music's high..
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine,
you're in the mood for a dance..
And when you get the chance....
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen..
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine..
You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life..
See that girl, watch that scene,
dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on..
Leave them burning and then you're gone..
Looking out for another, anyone will do,
you're in the mood for a dance..
And when you get the chance....
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen..
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine...(ohh yeeeaahh!)
You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life...
See that girl, watch that scene,
dig in the dancing queen

Paint It, Black
The Rolling Stones
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn back
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore I want them to turn back
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see your face painted black, black as night, black as coal
Don't wanna see the sun, flying high in the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yea
